One of the primary functions of the Clinton County Solid Waste Management District is writing and implementing a 15-Year Solid Waste Management Plan (PDF). The Clinton County Solid Waste Management District's Policy Committee oversees the writing of the Plan, which is updated every five years.
The Plan must include the following elements:
- Demonstrate at least 15 years of solid waste disposal capacity
- Demonstrate that Clinton County Solid Waste Management District will achieve a 25% waste reduction/recycling rate for the residential/commercial sector
- Develop outreach, marketing, and technical assistance for recycling, composting, and waste reduction
- Develop strategies for managing scrap tires, yard trimmings, lead-acid batteries, household hazardous waste, and electronics
- Examine incorporating economic incentives to increase waste reduction and recycling
- Outline the funding mechanism and budget
